Tests

Walking, or rather running home was quite uneventful. Looking at the beautiful sky, I thought about the four months ahead of me.

I had so much to do to prepare for the coming events. First I needed to hoard alcohol. I know that I won't have enough to last me for the rest of my life - that'd be pretty stupid of me to think I could hoard that much - but I could still get enough that I could drink it every now and then to celebrate something.

Though partying will get a bit harder after the sound-sensitive Zombies come into the world...

Oh well, worries for a later time!

Right now, I need to think about what I want to test out first; My physical prowess or my Kagune.

After a while of thinking, I decided it'd be easier to test how strong my body was than to find and then use an organ I'd never had before. With this in mind, I sped up and stopped paying attention to the rapidly darkening skies.

It didn't take me long to get to my apartment - I even said hello to my neighbors like the textbook gentleman I am! - when I got through the door, I quickly stripped down before quickly going for a shower.

After the sex, fighting and then running, I was beginning to kick up a bit of a smell. Plus, hygiene is a luxury I won't have for long.

When I exited the shower I heard my phone chime. Knowing it was Yuuki I slowly walked out of the shower and toward my bag in the hallway where I left it. I dried myself on the way before I finally got there and opened up my phone.

Yuuki: Ryu~ I had a really wonderful time earlier...how about we carry on later tonight? ❤

Seeing the text, I smiled before shaking my head. She really was a lewd girl...and I may have gotten her addicted to something I shouldn't have...

Looking at the time on my phone I saw that it had just turned half 5 and guessed I could check out my physical skills, see where my Kagune was and how to control it, and still get back by like 9, right?

Seeing that it checked out in my head, I got to typing my message before hitting send and rushing off to my room to get dressed in a black tracksuit.

Ryu: Yeah, that's fine with me...how about I come and pick you up at around 9 or something?

By the time I slid the tracksuit on and picked up some trainers I got a message back.

Yuuki: Mhm, that's fine with me! Well, as long as you show me a good time~❤

Putting my phone in my bag, I picked it up and exited my apartment again. I was going to look for a construction site with no people on it. That kind of location would have plenty of heavy objects to test myself against.

Because of the darkening skies and my dark clothes I could easily sneak around with my incredible speed. I walked to the street before jumping upward and onto the top of some house near my apartment. From there, I ran across the top of roofs, jumping between them in search of a construction site.

And it didn't take too long to find one.

Though you wouldn't think a construction site would be empty at just before 6 - surely people would still be working, right? But that's not the case. It seems this place ran into money issues so until the company building here gets some money, there won't be any workers.

Brilliant for my training and tests~!

Jumping down from the roof I was on, I landed with a swift and slightly loud bang though I didn't feel even the slightest discomfort from falling about 20 feet which was unreal. I didn't even try to soften the landing...man, this T-Virus really was a good choice.

I walked around the foundation of the building. First up I covered my face with my arm before running around the entire site and searching for security cameras. Though I did find some, they were dummy cameras - fakes meant to scare away intruders yet they didn't actually film anything.

Whelp, it's their loss for skimping out on security.

Lowering my arm, I went to a place where I saw some steel beams just now. When I arrived, a massive orderly pile of steel girders. I walked over to one of the ones on the shorter pile and picked it up with a single hand.

No doubt if someone saw this, their jaws would probably drop to the floor: A seemingly normal human picking up a 400lbs steel girder with one hand! Most, if not all, humans would have to strain themselves to pick up a steel girder with all of their body strength let alone one arm!

But me? I was casually weighing it in my hand and I realized something...

"It's...light?" the realization finally kicking in, I let out a long chuckle while grinning like a mad man. While still grinning, I walked closer to the pile and started stacking the girders onto the top of the one I was holding until it started to strain my arm.

Looking at the number of girders and quickly counting through them I was a little stunned at the strength I held in one arm.

8 Girders balanced perfectly on one arm. This definitely wasn't my limit but I couldn't infinitely balance steel girders on top of one another.

Anyway, this works out to around 3200lbs or 1450kg or 1.4 tons. Which is staggeringly high when compared to any other human alive currently.

And better yet...I could feel that I could still improve. Ridiculously so.

Putting the girders down and dusting off my unblemished hand, I reached into my bag and pulled out my phone.

I walked over to the girders and began lining them up in one massive line.

Each girder was about 10 feet long, or 3 meters (roughly). So I kept lining them up until I had a line of roughly 100 meters or 300 feet.

Thank god this construction site was quite big~

Going to one end of the girder line, I crouched down and opened up a stopwatch app on my phone. Getting myself into position, I hovered my finger over the 'Start' button.

I took a few deep breaths, flexing my legs muscles to warm them up for the sprint.

Once ready, I quickly pressed the button and sprang off from the starting point with a resounding boom and a cloud of dust behind me.

As I was sprinting with everything I had, I pushed myself further. Slamming my feet down faster, harder, I started to speed up and somehow I could tell my eyes had taken on their red, slit-pupil appearance from before.

My running wasn't a blur to me, showing my perception of time had sped up drastically.

But even then, I'd reached the end of the line before I even knew it.

Slamming my foot down, I slammed it into the ground making a small trail of broken ground as I skid to a stop. Though while I was stopping, I pressed stop of the stopwatch app so my result would be accurate.

Looking down at my feet or rather my shoes, I saw that they were completely torn up...Haah~ What else did I expect...idiot...

Kicking the shoes off, I picked them up and put them in my bag before turning to my phone and looking at my result.

2.5 seconds.

"*Whistle* Damn that's quick...that's about 40 m/s or rather...89mph, right? But I'm faster when it's in short bursts...just like Wesker," I went into thought about this.

It seems I'm not meant for long bursts of speed. Sure I can run faster than any human ever could, I could run faster than a car at this point but like Wesker, I have the same kind of speed to dodge bullets; Short-bursts of extreme speed.

Really, it's the kind of speed you need for combat, so it's more down my ally than long-bursts of speed which are used for fleeing (aka being a coward).

Pressing my feet into the ground and pushing off, I seemingly teleported a few feet in front of me.

"Yep...my abilities are centered around raw power rather than sustainable power. Good, that at least gives me a direction for my training..." looking down at my phone I saw that it had gone quarter past 6, "An hour or two of training before I have to go and pick up Yuuki...speaking of which," I opened up a text from her which told me her address.

Saving the information to my improved brain, I was reminded I had to test my brain's ability to learn...

Thinking for tests, I realized I should go to the library tomorrow to absorb as much information as I possibly could, and I could even try learning some martial arts from Saeko or even from some local Dojos, who knows. Getting my head back to my current training rather than future tests, I walked over to the pile of girders and saw I still had a massive amount of items to train with.

Exiting my enhanced Red-eyed form, as it'd ruin the training, I picked up a bigger girder and gave it a few test curls, trying to get a hold on its weight. It was about 600lbs and seemed just fine to use as a bar for my weight training.

Grabbing two of the smaller 400lbs girders, I started to bend them around the bar. It was incredibly hard and could even be seen as part of the workout itself but I got it done in the end.

One on each end of the 'bar'. Picking up the big girder, I gave it a few more test lifts to see if it could withstand the weight and it could; didn't even groan in exertion which really made me wonder how strong my overall body was to bend girders like it? Though they were smaller and therefore weaker, they were still steel...Guess my overall body strength was quite high.

I continued the process of bending the smaller girders around the big one until I had about 10 small girders wrapped around each end of the bigger girder. It looked highly reminiscent of a bench press bar you'd see in a gym, just much bigger and they were steel girders so...uhhh...nevermind.

Picking up the impromptu weight, I started on the workout in my head. From all the experience I had in my last life (beating people up required a strong body) this workout was one of my tried, tested, and proved methods of improving my body to beat the shit out of someone-- I mean...whatever, you guys know what I'm all about.

Squats, bench press, bicep curls, calf raises, lunges, overhead press, standing t-bar row, I even held the girder behind my head and did sit-ups. I removed or added weight depending on the exercise I did but I added more than I removed as my body seemed to be rapidly getting used to the weight.

And after about an hour and a half after doing that over and over, I actually started to build up a bit of a sweat.

Rolling the girder away, I sat down on the floor intent on relaxing a little after such an intense workout. I closed my eyes and started to calm my breathing before I turned my attention inside to my body.

You see, my senses and overall conscious control of my body had improved drastically as well, so currently, I was trying to feel out where my Kagune was.

Honestly, it didn't take too long. I just went through my torso and checked off the organs I found before seeing if they were supposed to be there which most of them were.

But using this method allowed me to find a sac-like organ around the center of my back. But now that I'd found it the question is; what do I do?

This question troubled me for a few minutes before I finally just tried to control it with my upgraded body control.

...

Sadly that didn't work. My only conclusion was that I needed to try and sense the trigger for it as well, or to slowly gain control over the organ. So, for now, I just sat there slowly trying to get the Kagune to come out.

I've gotta admit, I am pretty excited to mess about with my Kagune. From how I specified what I wanted, it probably doesn't have a set form, so I should be able to form into whatever I want and the combat applications of that are just wonderfully brilliant...

I continued with this prodding for about an hour before I stood up and rushed to my house to change out of my stuff.

I left everything as it was at the construction site. There was nothing to link me to whatever happened there and at most Umbrella Corp would send a few snoops to check out the weird phenomenon, so for the next few days, I'd not show any superhuman abilities and just stick to learning stuff instead.

After changing out of my clothes, I had a quick wash to get the sweat off my body before getting dressed in some casual sweatpants and a tank-top before sliding on some casual shoes and leaving for Yuuki's house.

It didn't take long to get there but I've gotta say, I didn't expect her to live in such a rich area. Looking around I could see multiple houses, no, it'd be better to call them mansions honestly.

What surprised me, even more so, was that her house/mansion was one of the biggest.

Guess I know why she was such a stuck-up bitch in the Anime; she's a rich girl and her family are loaded.

Bringing out my phone, I saw it was just before 9 so I sent Yuuki a message telling I was in front of her house. Shortly after my message, I saw her head in one of the many 2nd floor windows.

I waved at her and got a wave back along with a kiss she blew toward me. Shaking my headed I motioned for her to come on and she hurriedly rushed off. Though, with my enhanced hearing, I could hear some shouting which piqued my interest.

But before I could get closer to listen in, Yuuki burst through the door in some rather...unique clothes.

A tight tank top which showed off her flat and toned midriff, along with some denim hotpants which did little to cover her milky thighs and did everything to emphasize her wide hips and wonderful ass.

She'd put a bit of light make-up on which only served to enhance her beautiful and seductive face. Though, said face was currently morphed into a visage of anger but it soon turned into a superficial smile.

"Hey Ryu~" she ran up to me and hugged my arms between her heavenly cleavage and started to drag me away from where I was standing. I knew something must have just happened but I didn't pry - if she wanted to tell me, she would. Getting pushy wouldn't do me any favors.

Looking down at her, I spoke out, "So, what do you wanna do? Have something to eat, walk a movie and have a chat before getting down to the good stuff? Or do you just wanna get straight to the good stuff?" smirking I drifted my hand across her stomach as it was held there causing her to twitch a little.

But she ignored that and looked up at me with a genuinely confused face.

"Y-you don't just want to get straight to sex?" she seemed sincerely...surprised, I guess is what I'd called it. Like what I'd just said was incredibly outlandish to her.

"Well, I'd be fine with it, but I still want to spend some time with you, Yuuki. You know, to get to know the girl I'm having sex with and all that~" looking into her confused yellow eyes, I gave her a playful wink which caused her to get oddly embarrassed.

She hugged my arm a bit tighter before letting out a smile self-mocking laugh.

"You're a bit weird, you know that, Ryu? Most boys our age just wanna use me for sex...and I could've sworn you were the same with how you were earlier~" a bit of her usual flirty-attitude came back as she leaned her head against my shoulder, "...But, I'd like to have something to eat with you and get to know you as well, Ryu. As long as you're not put off by how I am--"

Hearing what she was about to say, I cut her off with a gentle voice, "Yuuki, the fact you've slept with a lot of people doesn't mean you're any less of a woman...and it doesn't mean you don't deserve to be treated right, you got that?" hearing what I said I felt her jolt a little before she started shaking but it soon came under control.

She nodded her head in such a meek manner I thought it wasn't Yuuki - a girl I knew was supposed to be quite headstrong and shameless - but I ignored it as I knew everyone had their own problems and the apocalypse probably brought out some pretty bad stuff in her.

I guess in these coming months I could help her through some of it so she isn't so horrible in the future when it all goes to shit.

Getting back to my house took much longer because I could exactly run at blistering speeds with Yuuki hugging and holding my arm like a baby koala. But still, it gave me the chance to get to know her some more. Vice versa for her as well, so we just took our time and enjoyed each other's company.

It was fun.

And before I knew it, we were at my apartment.

"Sorry if it doesn't match up to your mansion, but welcome to my humble abode~" I did a mock bow like a butler before opening the door and letting her in.

She giggled on her way in but despite that I saw her eagerly looking around with curious eyes, seemingly wanting to check for some hidden secrets of some kind.

Shaking my head, I entered after her and locked up. I walked over to her and took her bag off her - she'd brought her school uniform and some toiletries - and putting it in my room.

"So, Yuuki, what do you want to eat? I have some instant noodles we could have while we watch a movie or something?" calling her as I walked from my bedroom to my kitchen, I peeked my head around the living room door and saw her sitting on my sofa rather...stiffly?

Looking at her seemingly nervous, I couldn't help but burst out laughing.

My earlier question and my laughing seemed to surprise her and she yelped, seemingly being knocked out of her daydreaming.

Luckily she'd registered the question and just nodded at me in a cute meek way.

I wonder why she's so nervous? Could it really be because she's so used to going straight to sex and she's not used to this meaning she has no mental resistance to it? Or because she has no experience for stuff like this?

While thinking about this I went and prepared the noodles and some stuff to drink before I went back into the room and thankfully saw that Yuuki had relaxed a little as she looked through the movie cabinet underneath my TV.

She was currently looking between two rather innocent rom-coms which I'd never expect her to like but seeing my chance to tease her, I quietly put the noodles and drinks down on the coffee table before going behind her and sitting down with my legs spread out.

Luckily she was really concentrating between which movie to pick so my actions went completely unnoticed and I could wrap my arms tightly around her soft waist before dragging her onto my lap.

"Ah!" she let out a little scream before he soft ass landed on my lap sending signals of pleasure to my brain.

Acting as if nothing was happening, I looked over her shoulder at the two movies, "Hmm..so it's out of these two films, is it? But still, I never thought you'd like the 'prince charming comes to sweep the innocent maiden off her feet' kind of movies," looking over to her face I saw it was red but she was also pouting.

"I can like pure romance as well, you know," she looked a little down when she said that and I realized that she'd probably never had a real romance before. Every boy she spoke to was probably just trying to get in her pants.

Sure, she didn't stop it but well, I guess she was just capitalizing on an advantageous situation. But it probably got boring after a while.

Ah, whatever, humans will be humans - we're incredibly emotionally and mentally fickle.

Hugging her a bit tighter, I reassured her, "Yeah, I know, I was just joking, Yuuki," she seemed to physically relax after hearing my gentle whispers, "So, should we dim the lights and watch one of these while we eat, my innocent maiden~?"

My words seemed to make her happy as she just nodded before wiggling her butt into my crotch, waking up my sleeping 'dragon' before she quickly escaped my embrace and put one of the films on before rushing over to the sofa and digging into her noodles.

Shaking my head I walked over to the light switch of the room before flicking it off.

I walked over and took my seat next to Yuuki who slithered over to me and rested against me. I also started digging into my noodles and for some reason, I felt happy outside of a fight.

Weird, that never usually happens.

But ignoring my thoughts we watched the movie while eating, with little bits of light touching here and there before finishing the night off with a few rounds of 'fighting' in the sack.

Overall, it was a fun night.

(A/N - Well, I've gotta admit, Yuuki being in the Harem is growing on me. Sure, she was a real bitch in the show, but we don't really know why. We don't know if something happened to her which made her that way or whether it was just the Zombie Apocalypse drawing something dark out of her. So, really, I wanna change her fate because her being stuck as the 'bitchy slut' antagonist is truly sad when she has a lot of potential.

Also, I feel she was only such a bitch because she was portrayed as a girl who liked sex and was open about it, and it's a common thing for girls who like sex to be vilified or shown as bitchy people in shows. Well, from my experience of watching shows anyway.

Should we really judge a girl on her sexual history when we literally glorify men/boys who have a lot of sex? Probably not, it's a pretty bad double standard.

Anyway, what I'm trying to say is this: Just because Yuuki's fucked a lot of people and did bad things during an Apocalypse (which everyone would do eventually: stealing, killing, and hurting other people) doesn't mean she's an irredeemably bad and evil person.

She's most likely gonna be in the harem. End of rant~)
